The document discusses research on differences in how men and women express emotion. It finds that while men experience emotion as intensely as women, they often choose not to express it or express it in non-traditional ways. Some key differences noted are that men tend to express affection through actions rather than words, see intimacy as including physical closeness, and communicate commitment rather than fidelity in relationships. The conclusion is that men are capable of full emotional experience but their natural expressions are often unrecognized due to traditional expectations viewing affection expression through a feminine lens.
